How to add an overlay to an audiogram?

Modified on Tue, 20 Sep, 2022 at 4:51 PM

An audiogram is a graphic representation of an audiometric result.  Its format is determined by the ISO 8253 standard.  However, you may want to add your own overlays, such as a speech banana or a zone indicating when BAHA or CI is indicated.  


Audiqueen can now add such overlays.  Administrator rights are required to create overlays.  An overlay can be either a figure or a zone created by X-Y coordinates.


To create an overlay, go to Audiometry (1), click on Format (2), and then on Manage Overlays (3).


Click on Add to create a new overlay.


Picture

Now give a name (1), select Picture (2), and decide whether you want Audiqueen to fit this plot on a regular audiogram (125-8000 Hz) or an audiogram with high frequencies (125-20.000 Hz) (3).

Now you can upload the picture (arrow).  Make sure the picture width and height are between 500 and 3000 pixels!


XY-Plot

If you prefer to draw your own zone on the audiogram, proceed as before, but select XY-plot and enter the coördinates of the shape you want to make.  The X values are predefined by the audiometric frequencies (125-20000  Hz).  For each X value, you can enter 2 Y values.  You can also set the shape outline and fill color.

In this example, a shape (zone) is created from 1000 to 4000 Hz.  
The shape is filled with a transparent green colour and it has no outline.


Show Overlay

The overlays now appear in the drop-down menu in the Format window.  Each user can select which overlay to show on the audiogram.


Depending on your selection, the overlay now appears on the audiogram:
